Advocacy Iona has touched tens of thousands of metropolitan DC residents through our efforts to expand quality long-term care choices for older adults with chronic care needs, improve pedestrian safety, and educate the public and government leaders on aging-related concerns.

Three advocacy groups, hosted and supported by Iona, are described below:

The DC Coalition on Long Term Care (LTC) Comprised of consumers, advocates, and health care providers, the DC Coalition on Long Term Care works to expand quality long-term care options for DC seniors and individuals with disabilities. The DC Coalition advocates for improvements in home care, assisted living, workforce development, and more.

Citizens Advisory Group (CAG) The Iona Citizens Advisory Group seeks to draw more attention and resources to the needs of seniors, including continuing opportunities to contribute to the community. As a mini-commission on aging, the Group works to identify critical community issues affecting older adults in Ward 3, promote collaboration among senior groups, and educate the community on aging issues.

DC Senior Advisory Coalition (S.A.C.) The S.A.C. seeks to be the unifying voice advocating to improve the quality of life for and with older adults in the District of Columbia; to be the go-to trusted resource in the community on policies and priorities for older DC residents, and to work toward a thoughtful and shared community vision of aging and aging services well into the future.

8 ADVERTISER 202.895.9448 ABOUT IONA Care Management Iona Care Management is comprised of a team of experienced, licensed social workers and nurse care managers who have a deep knowledge of local resources and issues related to aging. Working with your care manager, you will receive resource referrals, guidance, and hands-on coordination of services to support you or a relative.

Our services are personalized, ongoing, and as-needed. They include consultations (see next page for more details), ongoing care management services (i.e. planning, coordinating, arranging, and overseeing services), navigation through health crisis, companion support, and medical escorts.

We offer: • Healthcare advocacy during health crises or other emergencies. • Custom guidance and referrals to help you evaluate your housing options. • Local and long-distance family support. • Coordination and arrangement of home care services. • Escorts to medical appointments, social outings, and more. • Future-planning guidance for down-the-line needs.

Consultations Discuss your situation, ask questions, and share concerns or challenges with a licensed social worker or clinical nurse care manager. A consultation typically lasts an hour to an hour and a half, and can take place at Iona, offsite (such as a home or hospital rehab facility), or over the phone. You’ll leave with advice, concrete next steps, and customized referrals.

Consultations can cover a variety of issues, including: • Aging in place • Making a move • Managing family conflicts • Caregiver support • Monitoring health • Legal and financial planning • Discharge planning

Home Care and Home Health Services

HOME CARE

Home care agencies typically offer in-home assistance with personal care (i.e. bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, etc.), homemaker services (i.e. meal prep, errands, light housekeeping, transportation, etc.), and companion services. Home health agencies typically offer Medi- care-paid personal care and skilled services (i.e. nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.). Medicare and private health insurance pay for some of these services on a very limited basis. Medicaid may pay for long-term services for those who qualify.

Housing options for older adults are varied and diverse. In addition to traditional apartments and houses, specialized options — like independent living, assisted living, nursing homes, and continuing care — provide various on-site services that support residents through the aging process.

Independent Living communities provide housing and services for active and independent older adults. Services typically offered include congregate meals, on-site recreational activities, and security services.

Assisted Living communities serve older adults who need some assistance with daily living. In addition to housing and on-site recreational activities, assisted living communities typically offer help with personal care (i.e. bathing, dressing, grooming, etc.), housekeeping, meal preparation, and medication assistance. Some communities offer specialized services for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

www.iona.org ADVERTISER 143 HOUSING OPTIONS Nursing Homes provide care for individuals who need skilled nursing on a regular basis, but who do not need hospitalization. In addition to skilled care, nursing homes typically offer most of the services available at assisted and independent living communities, including personal care, housekeeping, meal preparation, medication assistance, and on-site recreational activities. Some nursing homes provide short-term rehabilitation in addition to long-term care.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) provide multiple levels of long term care (independent living, assisted living, and nursing home care) all within a single community. Typically, CCRCs require residents to sign long -term contracts. Some CCRCs also may require residents to pay entrance fees or purchase their apartments.  HOUSING OPTIONS Guide to Retirement Living Sourcebook 800-394-9990 1919 Gallows Rd, #200, Vienna, VA 22182 703-992-1100 www.retirement-living.com   HOUSING OPTIONS – COUNSELING & LEGAL SERVICES Iona Consultations 202-895-9448 4125 Albemarle Street, NW, Washington, DC 20016 Iona’s seasoned care managers provide custom consultations to older adults and caregivers on a variety of needs.

Iona Senior Services’ Support Groups 202-895-9448 4125 Albemarle Street, NW, Washington, DC 20016 Iona offers a range of support groups for older adults and caregivers. Each group is facilitated by a trained Iona professional. Support groups allow people to share challenges and information with one another in a welcoming and private setting. Take a look below at our different groups, or visit: www.iona.org.

Our support groups are listed below and on the following pages. Pre- registration is required for all support groups; some groups may have a waiting list — please call 202-895-9448 for meeting dates and times, and to register.

Adult Child Thursday Evening Caregiver Support Group Being a caregiver for an older adult in your family is a very difficult job. If you are caring for an older adult with a chronic or acute illness (including dementia), you might benefit from this group. You will have the chance to share what you’re experiencing, gain support from other adult children, and connect with resources, programs, and services. Pre-registration required.

After Caregiving Support Group Designed for those individuals who cared for a loved one with a long-term, chronic illness like Alzheimer’s or other type of dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke, this support group provides a forum to talk about the caregiving journey. Here at Iona, we have found that spouses, partners, adult children, and other family and friends aged 18 and older may have been a member of a caregiver support group when their loved one was alive and would like the continued support of a group in this next phase of their life. This group provides that opportunity to find solace and support within this new stage, learn coping strategies, and share and discover valuable resources. Pre-registration required.

Iona/Alzheimer’s Association Support Group for Adult Children Caring for Parents with Memory Loss Whether your parents are living in this area or are far away, and whether they are appreciative or resistant to your assistance, join us for mutual support and learning practical caregiving strategies and ways of coping. Pre-registration required.

Iona/Capitol Hill Village Support Group for Caregivers of Individuals with Memory Loss This group is for spouses, partners, adult children, and others who are coping with the challenges of being a caregiver for an older family member or friend who has memory loss, including Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. Join us to share your experience and to get support and helpful information. Meetings take place at The Northeast Library, 330 7th Street, NE, Wash- ington, DC. To pre-register contact Capitol Hill Village at 202- 543-1778.

Low Vision Support Group Individuals with low vision – those who are not completely blind – are eligible for this group. Pre-registration required.

Memory Loss Support Group Individuals diagnosed with memory loss due to dementia (such as mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s, or vascular dementia) and their family and friends are all affected by the diagnosis and the changes that come with memory loss, but the experience is different for the diagnosed individual and those who care about them. Recognizing this, Iona offers two groups that meet simul- taneously and provide support, information, and resources specific to each one’s needs. Individuals with memory loss and their care partners meet together for 20 minutes for coffee and conversation, then the group splits into separate support groups – one for individuals with memory loss and one for their care partners. We strongly recommend that both the individual diagnosed with memory loss and their care partner attend these meetings, but this is not required. Pre-registration required.

Villages

Villages are neighborhood-based organizations that assist people age in the community safely and comfortably. Most models are membership-based with services such as transportation, computer training, and home maintenance. Often these services are provided by volunteers and vetted professional providers. Villages also may offer social and educational activities. Iona supports the efforts of the Village movement, and remains committed to providing support services to local Villages and their members.
